Greece

Greek band Argo were chosen by public broadcaster ERT to represent Greece with the song 'Utopian Land'.

The group are made up of Vladimiros Sofianides, Christina Lachana, Konstantinos Topouzis, Alekos Papadopoulos, Maria Elbrus and Elias Kesides.

The band's biggest influence is contemporary Hip Hop, but they also take their rhythms from traditional Greek music and are planning to use traditional instruments like the pontian lyre and the tabor on stage in Stockholm.

We are the rise in the rising sun
dance with us and have some fun
We are the rise in the rising sun
join with us for a Utopian Land

Planet Earth 2016
No matter what they do
Our generation will endure
I have experienced a flee when I was young,
and I step forward even when I look behind.

I get up in the morning and I meet the guys
we are on fire, off we head for the Utopian Land
In these parts of the world
we found no place to stand
let's try and paint it red in the Utopian Land.

We are the rise in the rising sun
dance with us and have some fun
We are the rise in the rising sun
join with us for a Utopian Land

Hop, hop
This is our very own hip hop
We got the tickets and we're off to the airport
Waiting for the plane
for two hours straight,
I got some pickles and my friend has got the drinks
Vodka it is, then, and whatever else time brings
Grandma's frying fish
And we're on the plane dancing
It won’t be long now
Before we're gone
It is dusk here and we're heading to the dawn.

We are the rise in the rising sun
dance with us and have some fun
We are the rise in the rising sun
fight with us for a Utopian Land

It is dusk here and we're heading to the dawn
It is dusk here and we're heading to the dawn

We are the rise in the rising sun
dance with us and have some fun
We are the rise in the rising sun
join with us for a Utopian Land

We are the rise in the rising sun
dance with us and have some fun
We are the rise in the rising sun
join with us for a Utopian Land
